Going or not though, I do have a concern about carrying at an event like that. I know we can carry, but what is the risk of antis who start randomly accusing the CHLers in the group of "brandishing" their weapons? If I were an evil anti and I saw a pro-gun group protesting, one of the things I would do is start hollering that some of them were intentionally exposing their concealed weapons to get them arrested and hauled off to jail.

Becareful and be aware of the anti-gunners who will show up to disrupt the rally. Don't let them get the better of us. We must stay focused on our message and clearly communicate our disapproval of what is happening and speak intelligently. We must be prepared to defend our position verbally and quickly. We must prepare our talking points and brush up on our historical precedents against gun control, ie fail policies and government take over, UK, Australia, USSR, China, NAZI Germany, Venezuela etc.

It would serve us well to comprehensively get all our points across clearly, concisely, and intelligently.

The media will key in on what they think fits the stereotype, any camoflauge wearing, scraggly bearded, pontailed guy getting emotional and rambling incoherently coming off as a gun nut crazy on the fringe of society. What we must come off as we are clean cut main stream society, we are the majority. We are law abiding, hard working, regular folks.

It doesn't matter to the other side but lets not give them anything to use against us to portray us the way they want to.
